Chapter 200 - Sudden Changes (1/2)

However, people suffering from the plague would not show it on their faces. It would be difficult to find out the symptoms before they showed up.

They had been working in secret for three days, but they still found nothing.

Two cases of fainting patients suddenly appeared in the western suburbs of the capital.

After receiving the news, the people of the imperial court came to the scene and immediately isolated all the people within a certain range.

Subsequently, they found out that one of the two fainted people had escaped from the south. He had come to the capital and stayed at a relative's house. He did not know that he was infected with the plague, so it only broke out on that day.

The other person who fainted was his relative's daughter.

At this moment, they could only isolate everyone and observe if they were infected with the plague.

The two people who fainted only woke up the next day. The relative knew about this and immediately rushed over to hit him. He was stopped by the soldiers. If he was allowed to enter, there would be more than two people who were infected.

The plague had yet to find a cure. Since the beginning of the plague in the south, the imperial physicians had begun to research the antidote, but there was still no news.

From the man who escaped from the south, they learned that he had also visited the shops on East Street.

As soon as the information was received, there were infected people on East Street.

The soldiers could only rush over to quarantine the area.

In just three days, there would be more than ten new infected people every day.

Fortunately, no cases were found in other places. At present, only the western suburbs and East Street were quarantined.

The people clamored to drive them out of the capital. It was too dangerous for them to stay in the capital.

The imperial court also knew this was the best way, but it was too unreasonable.

The ministers knew how to shift the blame. They handed the decision over to Nalan Cui and waited for him to make a fool of himself.

No matter what decision he made, it was destined to be unfavorable.

After a person living in the vicinity of East Street was infected, the anger of the people had reached its peak. They were about to lose control.

Nalan Cui furrowed his brows as he thought of a solution in the imperial study.

Su Yan walked in. She had come to look for Gu Ruoyun. She had no idea what he had been up to these past few days. He had been missing all day.
